Rick Santorum supporters have a difficult but important choice to make in the next few days as the Florida primary comes up on Tuesday.
Rick Santorum has left Florida. He knows he cannot win Florida. FLorida is the first of the Winner take all states. In other words, Florida is crucial.
Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are running neck and neck in Florida. By all accounts this race is going to be very close.
The Santorum voters can make the difference.
The Republican establishment is working overtime to make Mitt Romney the nominee. While those of us who support Newt and those who support Rick Santorum may disagree about who is the best candidate, we all agree Mitt Romney is not the candidate. He is a liberal who probably cannot defeat Obama this fall and even if he does, will govern much as Obama did.
If Romney wins Florida, he will be ordained as the Republican nominee and both Gingrich and Santorum will have a very hard time stopping him.
If you are a Rick Santorum supporter, it is time to think strategically. If Romney wins, the race is over for Santorum. If Newt wins, he may or may not be able to continue, but that that is a different story.
If you vote for Rick Santorum in the Florida primary, you are splitting the vote with Newt. Splitting the vote with Newt will guarantee a Romney win.
That we all agree must not happen.
If you support Rick Santorum, use your vote to help stop Mitt Romney in Florida. Whether you agree or disagree with Newt Gingrich, he is close enough to stop Romney with your help.
If you are a Floridian who supports Rick Santorum, I strongly urge you to vote for Newt Gingrich in the Florida Primary. If you know someone who lives in Florida, please urge them to vote for Newt Gingrich.
Let's stop Romney and keep a liberal from becoming the Republican nominee.

Permalink Reply by Sara Hoffman on Mr. MUG, The meaning of 'Bona Fide' is - in good faith - ; - without fraud -. You are so wrong to say that Newt is a Progressive. If he were, he wouldn't be a Bona Fide Conservative.
If you doubt me, please consult your Webster's Dictionary.

Got my eyes opened when I saw what a milk-toast he is on many issues. And a hard-head on many others.
Works for me
Permalink Reply by Jacqueline Anstrom on I agree with Carlo. Let the voters vote their conscious. How do you know that Santorum will lose? Chrystal ball maybe. With the bickering between newt & mitt....I hope both of them lose....If the republicans demand on eating their own...maybe Santorum or for that matter Paul are better candidates.
STOP pushing your agenda.
Permalink Reply by valerie rhodes on I honestly believe he can't win the general because the media has convinced the electorate that Santorum is intolerant. That said, if you like him, support him. Who knows, it's possible he could catch fire!
Permalink Reply by Carlo A on And, if we can, we should all send a contribution to him. We sent in some money today. Does not have to be a ton! Anything will help.
If we do nothing, Santorum will be forced to drop out. Then we will get Obama lite in the White House.
I trust Santorum will rescind Obamacare. I do not believe the others will!! Obamacare will be the end of America, as we know it.
And if O'Reilly (a moderate) says Newt is Conservative--well, we know what that means.

Permalink Reply by American Infidel on Carlo, I lot of former Cain supporters I know, even the ones who are really hard up financially, are sending Rick five dollars every Friday, just like we used to do with Herman Cain, with his "Five Dollar Fridays". It really adds up. Hey, isn't today Friday? : )

The point is this is exactly what the establishment wants. They would like people to keep giving to Rick Santorum to keep the conservative vote split. Divide and conquer.
Although polls are everything, they don't lie either. Rick is just too far behind. He is not only NOT on the ballot in Virginia like Newt, but also in a host of other states. He just does not have the resources. I love Rick too, I am a Catholic, and so glad he is standing up for social issues along with all the other issues, but I just don't seem him as able to win this time around. I think he would make a GREAT VP who could keep the movement going, if we all pulled for NEWT this time around. And it would help keep Newt grounded. I think there's a good chance Newt would pick him for VP because even in SC when he won, his supporters were shouting for Rick for VP. Those who support Newt have NOT given up on Santorum. We just don't see him as having the resources to win the presidency this time around. Let's keep him in this as VP! If we are adamant about it, I think Newt would choose him. Either that, or Rubio or West.
